I did this routine for 2 more sessions. I got up to 230lbsx20 DL and 200lbsx20 Full Squats started at 166 or 170lbsx20 Full Squats. Now I feel dizzy and fatigued all the time even on my off days. I can't handle this shit anymore.

I still need to lose body fat (I'm stuck at 200lbs/90.7 kgs 6' 1"/185 cm ), I have diabetes type II, my A1C was elevated two months ago, and I want to avoid taking medications. I try to keep my caloric intake to 2000-2200 a day.

First, strong work. I hate doing high rep anything although my trainer has me do so often - I don't know that I would push myself nearly as hard.

I am very interested in what your daily eating looks like. Are you actively trying to cut body fat right now? I'm in a cutting phase (5'10", 158-160 lbs) and only go lower than 2500 calories for 72 hours max, then bump it up to my maintenance range.

I presume you're busy with your studies but if you have time to read then you may want to check out How Fat Works. I think the author gives a good explanation of insulin resistance and the fat metabolism aspects of diabetes. Much of his research (and others) is mouse research but not all of the theories are extrapolations. I haven't studied the physiology of diabetes in quite some time and was surprised with what I learned. Of course this may be old news to you if you've been living with diabetes and studying it recently.

Thanks!

I'll start recording a food log again starting tomorrow. 2000-2200 calories a day is a wild guess. I eat like a large mammal. I have to restrain myself.

Yes, I'm trying to cut/reduce body fat right now. The issue with me and body fat reduction is I haven't been able to train consistantly for a while because I've struggled with insomnia for nearly 2 years. I've had insomnia for over 20 years. Stress triggered this latest bout.
